Casa Rosita

With accommodations for up to four people, the Casa Rosita is located on its own secluded desert 2 1/2 acres in the Joshua Tree Highlands, overlooking the mountainous western entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. It also has views of the Little San Bernardino Mountains as well as the twinkling lights of Joshua Tree and the mesa beyond.

Surrounded by Joshua trees, yuccas and all manner of Mojave Desert cacti, this colorful contemporary hideaway has two covered patios. The private patio off the kitchen has an outdoor eating area, barbecue grill, and lounging area with views of the amazing stars through the filigree cover. The living room sliding door opens to another patio with lounge chairs and outdoor fireplace and hammock.

The Casa is desert eclectic, colorful and comfortable with a wood burning fireplace, a DVD player and TV in the high-ceiling mahogany-beam living room with a sleeper sofa.

The light and spacious bedroom has a queen-sized bed, wood-shuttered windows, and a huge walk-in closet. The bathroom has a walk in tiled shower. All linens and towels are included. The Casa is heated and evaporatively cooled. Longer term guests may have access to an attached laundry room. Storage of gear is available.

As a rule, the Casa Rosita is available for a minimum of two evenings, but is most economical for stays of three evenings or more. Excepting holiday periods which may be higher, the rates are as follows:

Stay in an original homestead cabin and piece of high desert history with panoramic views of the mountains and tilted plains. The B’iltmore Bunkhouse is as versatile as it is charming, it can sleep up to five or provide a lovely sanctuary for an individual or couple as well.

Light and cheerful, Quail Haven is the perfect family-friendly retreat! Watch in delight as an endless array of desert creatures scamper through the boulders, cacti and huge agave – especially the hundreds of quail which make their migration to the palm trees every day, and for which this desert escape was named. Take time to discover and explore the unique collection of antique farm implements surrounding Quail Haven, but don’t worry if you miss something, you’ll be back.

Experience the rugged adventure of the desert without missing any of the modern conveniences of home! Hacienda de la Hamaca is a newer home in a quiet south Joshua Tree neighborhood only 4 miles from Joshua Tree National Park (on a paved road!) It’s perfect for a family getaway or group of friends. Climb in the hammock and let your cares sway peacefully away… watch the desert wake up while you enjoy a cup of coffee and the sun rise over the mountains, nap lazily under the shady patio through the heat of the day, curl up with a good book, sip cocktails at sunset, snuggle up with your loved ones, listen to the coyote’s song, be amazed by the starry nights, then sleep under the Milky Way.

A western-style adobe that encompasses the very essence of desert tranquility. Surrounded by natural desert landscape, you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported back 100 years when settlers first discovered the magic and mystique of the west – without any of the hardships! When you’re ready to say “Whoa,” soak away the day’s long, rocky trails in a private ‘cowboy hot tub’ next to a glowing campfire at Rancho Rincon.
